In this post you will find the latest version of the global navigation and all the source and sample files to download. I have also included a complete Gaia Framework (v3.0.4) for your convinience and for a complete functioning system, but be sure to get the latest version of Gaia from here if you want to use the global navigation with Gaia.

I’ve included the TweenLite/TweenMax classes as well, but again, be sure to get the latest version of the Tweening classes.

1.51

• Small adjustement in LoadChildAsset class. remove Listener when loading is cancelled. LoadChildAsset.as is used to load the button swfs. This fix was in fact not really necessary, because the loading of the buttons is not cancelled. But nevertheless, if you want to use LoadChildAsset.as by itself, this fix was important.
  

1.50

• It is now possible to include a path to your btn swfs –> new NavigationManager(ref:MovieClip, xmlFile:String, btnPath:String = “”). This can be helpfull if your btn swfs are in a different location and you want to keep the xml file clean (btnSWF=”mainBtn.swf” looks better than btnSWF=”http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/anotherfolder/buttonfolder/mainBtn.swf”)

1.49

• “btnHide” attribute added. This is used when the button itself should not be visible, but it needs to be loaded for proper alignment etc. This is often the case with the “home” button: The functionality should be in the navigation but it is triggered by a click on the logo and not specific “home”-button.

1.48

• Bugfix when the last btn had sub-buttons (Type Error #1010 with btns[nextSiblings[0]].makeRoomAddSpace)

1.47

• I took almost all code that was in the btn swf and encapsulated it in the NavigationButton class, so now it is much easier (especially for the designer) to layout and arrange the graphics and button labels in the fla.
• Bugs fixed concerning loading issues
• There is a new NavigationEvent LOADING_COMPLETE. When the NavPage loads, the afterTransitionIn Event is hijacked. After the global navigation is completely loaded, Gaia is released.
• The examples uses the newest Gaia Version 3.0.2.
• …and many small improvements.

1.46

• Initial release
